Plus, Tara was so mad at her for playing with her memory, she hardly even talked to her. Willow tried to convince her she wouldn't use magic anymore and Tara really wanted to believe her, but she really doubted it. Willow had obviously become too addicted to magic, she didn't even realize she used it for every little thing. Her love for Willow was too deep to ditch her after her first mistake, so she just hoped Willow would really stop using magic so often.
Willow's mind worked differently, though. She felt responsible for Buffy's misery and she just wanted her to feel better, to forget all the pain that came along with being resurrected. She wanted to give Buffy a new start, a chance to be happy in the world without her mother and without all the horrible memories that haunted her. Buffy was broken and Willow thought she was good enough to fix her, by slightly changing her memories.
When Tara fell asleep, Willow sneaked downstairs to work on the spell that wouldn't get out of her head.
To perform a spell, Willow needed to make a circle with red powder she kept in a crystal bottle. Then she sat at the centre, lit two candles and closed her eyes. She whispered magic words:
Heal the essence of the broken being, make it forget the pain, and let it live the life full of love and care.
The candles blew out and Willow felt wind in her hair, it was warm and it felt so gentle on her skin, like a lover's touch. She smiled, she knew her spell worked, but then a huge cry, a huge baby cry made her run upstairs like crazy, dropping the candles to the ground. The cry kept getting louder and it seemed like it was coming from her own bedroom, which confused the living hell out of her.
She entered the bedroom and what she saw made her freeze and stare with her mouth agape. Where Tara had lain, there was a baby now, covered in Tara's sleeping shirt.
"Tara?"-Willow whispered, still not believing her own eyes. She pinched herself, but she was obviously awake cause it hurt.
Baby Tara was screaming her lungs out and Willow managed to pull herself together enough to pick her up in her arms and say: "Oh baby, I'm sorry... But look at you... You're such a cutie!"
Willow couldn't help it, she got completely melted. For a moment she forgot about Buffy and then it hit her something should have happened to her as well. She just hoped Buffy wasn't a baby too, that would mean there would be no Slayer since Faith was locked in jail. Shivers ran down her body and after she'd wrapped Tara in a warm fluffy blanket, she picked her up and ran to Buffy's room.
"Buffy?"-Willow asked and took a deep breath when she noticed blonde hair on the pillow. Buffy was covered up all over her head, just a bit of hair was visible to Willow.
There was no answer, it seemed that the blonde Slayer was sleeping tightly and Willow approached her quietly and removed the covers from Buffy.
"Uh-oh."-the red head whispered, not knowing what to say or do at that moment.
